because it's "New York" and they are "your kind of people." There isn't any description of the
characters but I'd bet the guy is in something to do with publishing, public relations, or a writer.
People criticize superhero or other genre movies for being cookie-cutter, but New York movies are
the worst example of that.

City? Is it because most of those movies are made in OZ and Emerald City is the largest city
there? Is it because there is a mystique about Emerald City that has engendered a lot of common
themes and almost-human traits that have caused us to almost anthropomorphize that one city? Is it
because Emerald City is the city that never sleeps? Is it because if you can make it in Emerald City
you can make it anywhere? Melt away those little town blues, Rich.
